Rayz Notebook: 02.04.06

The Rayz got some rare good news after Friday's game, as No. 1
goalie Scott Reid will rejoin the team in time for Tuesday's game at
Bossier-Shreveport. Reid had been on a call-up to the American Hockey
League's Norfolk Admirals since Jan. 9.

STREAK SNAPPED

Doug Watkins' first-period goal on Friday marked the first time the
Rayz have scored the first goal since Jan. 13 against Rio Grande
Valley, when Chris Roberston opened the scoring that night.

LAURILA STILL OUT

Rayz defenseman Tim Laurila missed his fourth consecutive game
because of a concussion. Laurila was injured during the Rayz' Jan. 27
loss at Laredo.

XL-SIZED PARTY

The Rayz will be hosting a Super Bowl XL party on Sunday afternoon
at Beamers restaurant at 5922 S. Staples St. The party will begin at 3,
with Rayz players and staff members on hand. The team's inflatable
hockey rink will be set up, and a big screen TV will be given away as
well.
